Fernando Torres

[tmessy 139]

So you think we should get rid of him?

No, honestly I don't think he should go...

We have more important problems than him at the moment...

I hope Torres will be the striker for Spain in the next games, it might rise up his morale and form.

Enough is enough!!!!

The first few months we could excuse him because

A: He came mid season and was not fully settled.

B: He was thrown in the deep end with new team mates.

C: Rooney, Drogba and even Henry have suffered from baron spells in front of goal in the past.

But 5 goals in a year in unacceptable for a supposed world class forward at his peak regardless of service behind him, and to go on a 17 game baron run and then beat it the next season renders me speechless.

If it's so ultimately impossible to score in this team then why does Sala Kalou (who is regarded by a lot of Chelsea fans as the worst Chelsea player in the Roman era if not longer) chip in with a respectable amount?

Kalou gets regularly picked on for sub par displays on 60k a week but atleast he makes up for his frustrating displays with goals, Torres is on 180k a week (what possessed us to pay that much when he would surely have accepted much less) and is producing displays that make Kalou look like Pele.

We should try and pull on Leti's heartstrings and try and muster up a swap (or even a bit of money on our behalf) for Falcao, we could use an extended loan for Courtious as bait too.

This thread is 234 pages long and I found out it's frustratingly repetitive. Same things were said 9 months ago as now, same excuses, although people still had hope... Now the only difference is that hope is much thinner. One of the most boring and repetitive threads in TC history imo. And if to incorporate all the separate topics created about Torres, it would be much longer and much duller.

If he was signed for £5m from Cardiff we would have cut our loses in January if not loaned him to the championship.

The bottom line is a sad one. We have showed incredible support and belief, and he's just let us down. Unacceptable.

[Badboy 1,526]

This guy could go the rest of the season without a goal.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The goal we conceded was his fault, he was supposedly marking murphy.

[Amblève. 4,995]

End this story in the summer, please. It's just frustrating, absolutely frustrating...

Even Heskey does not play so poorly

[eldo 868]

Guy's a joke. When we are deeper he's higher up the pitch, when he needs to be in box he's not there.

Falcao doesn't need world class passes to score.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Is a Torres for Falcao trade reasonable? Surely it'll have to be Torres + cash for him.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Time for him to goooooo................... bubi!

A very good analysis of what Nando's woes. Special attention on yesterday's match.
